#9 Cleaned Up!!

So last week I said I was going to clean up my hobby room so I could take pictures to share with you all. I also stated in the blog that I like to be organized, but than work my way into a mess, only to have to organize again. You would think I would have outgrown that, but alas I embrace my flaws!!
Well here's another... I get easily distracted by shiny new ideas....lol. So while I'm cleaning and organizing and checking in on instagram, I see this post from @sunnyincal. Beautiful. right!! Using her scraps. (great scraps by the way!!)

And I thought, I'm tidying up, and this would fall under cleaning, right?? (girl math!!) lol (and it isn't like I was going shopping, I have everything already...)(more girl math) lol

So I tidied up my batting and fabric scraps, and started another WIP! Even though I said I wouldn't ! ;) oops.....

And even with all the distractions and added projects, I still managed to tidy up!!

I should mention, I am doing my blocks as a quilt as you go. I had seen a YouTube tutorial from the Gourmet Quilter and thought this is the perfect time to try that. If you are new to this technique I posted pictures on my tutorial page and the link above will take you to the video I watched.

Happy Canada Day, Eh! Glad to see you are still following along and cheering us on for the Sew Fresh Quilts - Oh My, Scrappy Stars, Sandy! Thanks for the visit today.

I LOVE your sewing space. The light from the windows, the work spaces, the cupboards and storage, and everything! No wonder you get started on something else once you get in there to 'clean up'.... And I can totally relate to your quilt math!

your string blocks rock! I love string quilts, and I have often thought that I should always have some foundation fabric blocks cut so I can just sew a few here and there. Your sewing space is really great too!

Thanks Kelly, it feels good to be getting things done! The string quilt was great motivation to get my scraps organized, finally!! I really like my space too, I am very blessed to have it!!I'm still finding my footing in this virtual world, so much to see and learn and so many great resources, like yours, thanks!!

Thanks for stopping by Cynthia! This is my first quilt as you go too! I helped a friend do table runners for her family for Christmas, after we watched a tutorial from Missouri Star Quilt Company on YouTube. That is a great easy project!! Putting these quilt blocks together will be a little more complicated. I will post something when I get there.

Thanks, Christine!! I'm very lucky!! When we were rebuilding the house after the fire (long story, maybe I'll blog about that soon) my husband off handedly offter me the room above the garage. Needless to say I jumped on that and never let go!! lol!!

Yikes! Sorry to hear about the fire! It's a beautiful crafting area, and what a thoughtful husband! Is it bad that I am eyeballing the kids' rooms as a crafting space for me for when they leave the nest?! Not that I'm counting, but only 6 years before the youngest graduates... LOL!!

Lots of Information here!!
